Clipping for AI startups · outcome-priced GTM, paper-trail included.

Q: What is a qualified view?

A view that passes four checks set by the campaign brief: watch duration, policy compliance, geo consistency, and traffic validity. If any layer rejects it, the view is logged with a reason code and excluded from both spend and payout.

Q: Does AI-startup clipping work for B2B SaaS?

Yes. We route to operator + builder ICPs. Narrower than consumer audiences but qualified buyers.

Q: How does FORKOFF pricing work?

Brands pay $0.003 per qualified view (CPQV). Filtered traffic is logged with a reason code and excluded from spend. Sandbox starts at $1,000 for 14 days. Retainer engagements scale up.

Q: How fast does a brand campaign go live?

Most campaigns go live within 24-48 hours of brief acceptance. Sandbox-tier campaigns ($1,000) typically clear in 24h; retainer engagements run their own onboarding window.

Q: How does this compare to running paid X/LinkedIn ads?

Different denominator. Paid ads charge per impression with no watch-time gate. FORKOFF charges per qualified view (watch-time + traffic + geo + policy). For top-of-funnel AI launches, $0.003 CPQV typically out-performs $30+ per LinkedIn impression.

Q: Can the ledger feed our analytics stack?

Yes. CSV/JSON export with per-view timestamps, geo, platform, and qualification reason codes. Pipes into Snowflake, BigQuery, Mixpanel, or your finance attribution model.

Q: Can I run on my existing creators?

Yes. FORKOFF can run a managed campaign on a brand's existing creator roster, with the qualification engine and ledger layered on top. Useful for brands wanting measurement without rebuilding their network.

AI and SaaS launches need video distribution AND verifiable spend reporting. FORKOFF runs them with a qualified-view ledger.

Show, format, target geos, watch-time threshold per platform, brand-safety rules locked in writing. Sanctioned-region exclusions confirmed at acceptance.

▸ Step 02

Vetted clipper routing

Clippers matched by geography, niche, and prior qualification rate against similar briefs. Self-tagged geo is not trusted; routing happens at acceptance.

▸ Step 03

Qualify, ledger, settle

Every view passes watch-time, policy, geo, and traffic-validity checks. Filtered traffic logged with reason code. CSV/JSON export to finance and ops.

04 · Deep dive

Why AI Startup Clipping Campaigns prices on qualified views.

AI startup launches go through finance review. The qualified-view ledger gives the GTM team the outcome attribution finance asks for. The four-stage qualification engine (watch-time, policy, geo, traffic-validity) is the wedge. Most operators in this space hand the brand a dashboard count and treat the qualification denominator as private. FORKOFF ships the denominator into the contract: per-view reason codes, CPQV pricing on the views that cleared the brief, filtered traffic logged but never billed. The audit ledger reconciles against MMP records (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) for consumer-app clients and against treasury reporting for web3 clients. Outcome-priced means you pay for the qualified denominator, not for impressions an ad-ops cleanup pass would later strip.

06 · Case archive · Sandbox tier

Sample sandbox: AI Startup Clipping Campaigns qualified at scale.

▸ FORKOFF case archive

An anonymized FORKOFF AI Startup Clipping Campaigns sandbox campaign cleared 1.6M qualified views against a $5K brief at $0.003 CPQV. The qualification engine logged ~37% of raw playback as filtered (sub-watch-time, geo-mismatch, sanctioned-region, or traffic-validity flagged) and excluded that volume from billing. Brand reconciled per-view ledger against MMP records the same week. Specific brand name redacted under NDA. The case structure is representative of the sandbox tier the strategist locks at brief acceptance.
